The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) will investigate the corruption allegations leveled against former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed and his family. A 3-member committee has been formed under the leadership of ACC Deputy Director Hafizur Rahman in this incident.
On Monday (April 22), this information was revealed by ACC sources.
Meanwhile, a writ has been filed in the High Court seeking an inquiry into the corruption allegations of former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed.
Supreme Court lawyer Salauddin Regan filed the writ in the relevant branch of the High Court on Monday (April 22). The hearing of the writ may be held on Tuesday (April 23) in the High Court bench of Justice Nazrul Islam Talukder.
In this regard, ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan said, they have received a copy of the writ. There, instructions have been sought to investigate the allegations of corruption against Benazir Ahmed. ACC Chairman, Secretary and four people have been made defendants in the writ.
Earlier, Barrister Syed Syedul Haque Sumon wrote to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to investigate the allegations against Benazir Ahmed. The letter said that former Inspector General of Bangladesh Police Benazir Ahmed retired on September 30, 2022 after serving for 34 years and 7 months. After retirement, Benazir Ahmed's wife and daughters have huge assets in their names, which are disproportionate to his income.
A recently published national daily claimed that the former Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the former Director General of RAB Benazir Ahmed have found a large amount of illegal assets. Since then, this former IGP of police has been discussed a lot.
Benazir Ahmed said in a video message entitled 'Amar Kichu Katha' on the social media Facebook last Saturday (April 20) in protest of the published news that the news has been published with false and fanciful information.
Benazir Ahmed claims that some information has been exaggerated and presented.
